Parent Layer: Sensitive Snake

Name: Sensitive Snake Habitat Outline

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This layer represents the Sensitive Snake Habitat area outline and is not visible beyond the scale of 1:27,733,946. All species of snake in Alberta are designated as sensitive and are protected from killing/harm/harassment under the Alberta Wildlife Act. The Sensitive Snake Habitat dataset provides land users/disposition holders and government departments with information to prevent contravention of the Act by requiring mitigation to prevent snake mortality (in particular mortality caused by vehicles and heavy equipment) by human activities. The Sensitive Snake Habitat dataset includes Townships where sensitive snake species (e.g. prairie rattlesnake, bull snake, and garter snake) activity is known to occur. Insufficient survey work has been conducted to know the precise extent of species movements but areas are inferred from observational records, telemetry studies and surveys results. Observations were compiled from the Government of Alberta’s Fisheries and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) which includes data from provincial surveys conducted by regional wildlife biologists and independent researchers. The ATS Version 4.1 Township index polygons were used and are derived from all township polygons in the province of Alberta, compiled from the Master Alberta Township System coordinate file (MATS) published March 31, 2005.Land use activities have a high potential to result in the death of individuals and destruction of their habitat and landuse guidelines that consider the sensitive nature of these species’ and inform the use of restricted areas and periods assist with the recovery of sensitive snake species and prevent degradation of species population status.
